WHITE BUTTERFLY
WHITE BUTTERFLY
Contributed by Sally I. Kennedy

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your
understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and will make your
paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6
My husband and I were threading our way down the path from our trek up
to the waterfall. Nothing around. No people, no birds, no animals...
except for one very small chipmunk scurrying from rock to rock to avoid
our big scary shoes coming toward him.
Then a tiny white butterfly appeared. It fluttered along in front of us
all, as if leading the way. All the way down the trail to the bridge at
the bottom. There, by the river's edge, it flew into the woods, only to
reappear behind us when we moved on.
We weren't lost. But sometimes we don't have to be completely lost to
need a little guidance and direction. Or even reassurance.
Ten thousand feet up in the Rocky Mountains, could a white butterfly be
a reminder saying God will go ahead of us to lead the way? And that He
will also come behind us?
God tells us in the Bible, "I will never leave you or forsake you."
(Joshua 1, Deuteronomy 31, Hebrews 13)
It's a promise! That's good news.
